It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Great review there Steven! It does seem to be quite an amazing model and appears to have raised the bar somewhat for this type of model. Not sure that I'll be getting it though if I saw it in person I think I might be tempted.
Nice photos with the review as well!

I'm looking forward to some NZG vs WSI pictures and reviews. I know it's apples and oranges in a casting sense but I am already getting the sense that WSI have set a very high benchmark. Congrats, I hope they continue with more Mass Excavation models, they will be snapped up Rowan.

If im honest a PC800LC-8 ME spec would be my choice....only because i have one working alongside a Zaxis 870LCH-3 ME near me so the 2 would look very could in my display case together! As they do on site haha

There are only 1000 models made in each config. so I don't know iff they will do any company colors. Since it are WSI models a few Dutch companys come to mind, Beelen demolition( green white) Abeko (yellow) Boskalis (grey yellow) Van Groningen Demolition ( green white).

would be nice to put the demo boom and undercarrage from the 1000 and put it on the 870, not shure what else would have to be done though

Probably just easier to put 870 decals on the 1000!

Probably just easier to put 870 decals on the 1000! You'll have the 1000 shown as a 870, you're right but, will you have the same amount of detail as if you put the boom and undercarriage on a 870? I don't think so
